Thank you! It won us over. The photos don't show it all as there is another stunning mountain range that dominates the view from the front of the house. These photos were taken a couple of years ago when the property was on the market prior to the current vendors purchasing it. We move in next week so will take some more photos then. Thanks.

Can you show a picture of where you want to hang the sign? Are you talking about a house "name" or a family name?

I can't seem to figure out how to get a great picture of a tongue and groove living room that also has ceiling molding, off of one of my houzz ideabooks to show you that this style you like, can and does look good together. I picked the collaborate feature and put your user name in it to try and share this pic.

For my birthday present this year I asked my husband to have our renovated laundry and hallway painted. I stupidly thought he would organise a professional painter, however instead he's got his father to do the job. The spaces needing to be painted had bare Gib and plaster (which was done by a professional). Unfortunately, it's looking like no form of sealer or primer is going to be used over the Gib/plaster. I'm reluctant to say anything, as I've already upset my husband by being critical about his father doing the work in the first place and was assured he would do a good job. Does anyone have any idea what the end paint finish might look like, because what will the un-sealed Gib result in?
